Pine Mountain is a tall peak in Jill. It is 11,200 feet tall.
History[]
When Port Justin was founded in 1842, the town quickly noticed the tall peak in the horizon. In 1844, explorers spanned southward to the mountain. It was covered by a thick pine forest, and therefore named Pine Mountain in 1853.
In 1944, tourism exploded in the mountain area. Due to the massive demand, the town of Pine Mountain was founded. It became extremely popular, and its population was 2,800 in 2006.
In 1962, Pine Mountain was declared as a World Heritage Area.
